The Big Book of Civil Engineering for Curious Kids56 pages packed with information about-
How cities developed around the world-
The people who make cities their home-
Architecture and culture-
How urban planners organize a city and its services-
The role of City Hall-
Systems for water, waste, and energy-
And innovations for an eco-friendly urban future In the spirit of
David Macaulay's The Way Things Work, I Love My City is a
treasure trove of information for middle-grade readers who want to know the how
and why of cities. Why did cities start appearing in the first place, or
become what we know today? How do urban planners know where to place fire
stations, schools, and parks? What's a water tower, and how does it fill the
pipes of thousands of people? How about roads and highways, communications and energy,
water treatment and waste? The answers to these questions and more can be found
in this richly illustrated, global guide to everything urban. Today, 55% of the global population is urban,
and that number is only growing. In I Love My City, readers explore the
history, geography, demography, technology, infrastructure, and government of
cities, with fascinating facts about specific urban centres around the world. A
particular focus on ecology, green energy, and environmental planning moves
readers forward to consider what sustainable development might look like in the
future as well. This nonfiction STEM title, ideal for civics and social studies
units, includes a table of contents, a glossary, and a list of resources for
further research. Written by children's author France Desmarais and municipal
administrator Richard Adam, with lively full-color illustrations from Yves
Dumont, I Love My City is a captivating resource for the library, classroom,
or home.
